Set up a server with raid-1 and backups or raise hyper-V to reduce downtime?

Question

Backup

What solution would you recommend to solve this problem. The server has medical software - sensors, pictures - ms sql database. It is necessary to be able to raise a copy on the backup server as quickly as possible in the event of a server breakdown - preferably in an hour. What to choose? Raise windows c software to hyper-V and backup a virtual machine? or set up raid and backups on acronis hardware, for example?

Answer 1

Do you want to choose between "warm" and "soft"? VM and RAID are completely different things for different purposes.
Also, from ms sql you can make a backup of databases with standard tools.
